This is such a beautiful idea! I can send a link to a local Christmas music quiz where you need to figure out the song or band from random words for something new and festive? Hope you feel a bit chirpier soon xMy husband and I don't buy each other gifts so no need we just fund 5 or 6 children to go to school for the year in Bali as our present to each other. We both have all we need, no point buying stuff just for the sake of it.
it has been a looooooong day here. So boring. I am just bored of it all. Bored of reading. Bored of physio. Bored of Netflix. Bored, bored, bored.
Aw it’s cuteOmg I didn’t tell you all about my tree DRAMA.
So I ordered a Christmas tree online obvz and was unsure about it. It arrived yesterday and I was able to drag it in myself which was already a red flag. Usually it’s too heavy and my fella has to do it. Anyway I unpack it and I’m like fucking helllll this is shit. Phone my fella. He’s like ‘I’m sure it’s fine. You’re being dramatic.’ He gets home and he’s like ‘omg what the fuck is that.’ I keep looking at trying to love it but I can’t. I’m furious at it. As the night goes on we’re proper laughing at it but I can’t stand it. I send quite a funny email to the company saying I wasn’t expecting an exact replica of what I saw online but something in the same region. This Christmas tree is sad and pathetic and makes me feel sad to look at.. Anyway they’ve come back to me advising me they’re sorry and will ship me another one. I’m concerned that the second tree is going to be equally as shit as the first one. They’re also not collecting this one so I’m potentially stuck with two ugly tree’s…
Here’s what I ordered :

I know I sound like a complete whiny bitch and other people are going through so much worse, but I feel like I'll implode if I don't get it out of my head...
I'm really struggling right now. It just feels like Covid will never end. There's the outbreak at NH's work, people are my work are getting ill today (hopefully not Covid but thank fuck I didn't go to the Christmas evening out!) The media are salivating at the bit to continue to tear this country apart at the seams. Brexit was bad enough, but the tribalism around Covid is somehow even worse. We're almost certainly (99.9%) going to lockdown again. My job is, theoretically, very safe, but some others in my office aren't and we only rehired in Aug/Sep after struggling without those roles filled. There's going to be so many kids struggling with being locked in with their abusive families. So many kid who have loving families, but won't get the chance to socialise with other kids. So many people unemployed. So many people struggling with their mental health. So many people struggling with their physical health with appointments cancelled again.
To top it all off, Christmas is hard enough as it is with holdover drama from my evil bitch of a sister. Because of said drama my parent's alcoholism is even worse this time of year. My mum's off her head by 3pm now. On a weekday, because "why not, it's Christmas."
Now people are panic buying at the local supermarkets again, because they haven't learned from the last three times they did this.
It just feels like it will never, ever end. And there are so many people who are "I'm alright Jack" and gagging for another lockdown, either not realising or possibly not caring how bad it will hurt so many people. Not locking down sucks. Locking down sucks. Everything sucks.
Sorry to be so miserable. I'm going to brave going to the Morrissons now to stock up on some food (stock up, not stockpile, I'm not planning on getting 150 toilet rolls and 20 10kg bags of rice) and get some really easy foods that can be kept in the cupboard so that I don't have to think about cooking or shopping. Then it's a big weight off my shoulders so I can just think less in general and switch my brain off a bit more.
I think the walk will help clear my head a bit.
Hope everyone's having a good evening.
